CR,
There is a diagram of the proper balancing technique in the Victoria British
Catalog. I also found it in a .gif file from the web, but don't remember
where. I can send it to you if you will drop me a note off-list.

Chris,
This rings a bell. I may go looking for a dealer who
sells wire
wheels. My wheels don't run true3 on the local dealer's
balanceing
machine but do on the car.
Also, I've had two flats on the front since I bought new
tires and
tubes. One was an unexplained pinhole in the side of the
tube. The
other was a separation of the tube itself. Thjought I was
doing the
right thing when I bought new tubes....
